This was definitely a great apartment to stay in and value for money! You get the whole apartment to yourself and if you are like us the kitchen will be great for you too! The bus stop is right outside but it is important to note that buses to La Spezia are not as regular as we hoped. It can be as little as one per hour in the afternoon. The journey to the station of La Spezia also takes at least 30 minutes instead of the 10-15 minutes that was advertised. However, it is easy enough as it is a direct bus. Also note that the last bus from La Spezia to here is around 21:10 so if you were planning on having evening plans, you might have to reconsider alternative transport! A final note is that while we were here, the hot water for the showers didn't seem to last longer than 30 seconds! Overall, we still had a great time and were very comfortable.

Pietro was very friendly and helpful. We arrived more than an hour late due to train issues and they were very understanding, driving back out to let us in. The apartment is clean and comfortable, and in a good area of town. Perfect for a day trip to cinque Terre!

The place is a very good value for 7 people. 3 large rooms. Enough space to park 2-3 cars outside the house. Only 25 min in the morning traffic from the boat trips to Cinque Terre.

We were just passing through and only stayed one night here. Our experience was wonderful!! The hosts welcomed us and were very friendly and helpful. The house is adorable and offered more than enough room for our party of 6. Everything was really clean and cozy. We really loved the beds and pillows - very comfortable! We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area!

This was my first Airbnb stay. & I am very satisfied with my stay here. The host & family were very generous & accommodating. Even arranged something & they picked me up from the bus station. The room was very spacious & clean. Loved the shower! And next morning they prepared me breakfast. Very pleasant stay!

JuliaAugust 2016

We didn't meet Xi Jung but her son Marco and her daughter Luna who both manage the airbnb. They are very organised and always available for advice. The house is easy to find and well located. The room is nice and clean. However, we had to share the bathroom with the other 4 guests, which was a bit long in the morning, and not always clean (some guests are really disgusting). Breakfast is copious . I recommend.

EmmanuelSeptember 2016

Hosts are really pleasant people! Every day the breakfast was served. It's quiet location with space for parking. There live two cute and cuddly dogs :)

The place is very big and have a fantastic views, we had some difficult to find the place but of you look for Follo ( is where the apartment is) you will not have any problem. The family is really nice and always helpful and the place is really nice! Thank you so much for everything!

We had a very good stay at Xu Jings place. It is a great house and everything is clean. Especially the breakfast was amazing.

JanaSeptember 2016

Beautiful location with stunning views but must have a car. About thirty minute drive to cinque terre train station. Luna, Xu Jing's daughter is lovely and speaks wonderful English and is super helpful. Someone is always home to help you. Room and bathroom is very clean and just like the picture. Breakfast is great (coffee, toast, egg, yogurt, fruit and spreads) and host will accommodate your breakfast time. Thank you for a great stay!

JennSeptember 2016

Everything was perfect ! Xu and her family were very helpful to describe us how to come to their house, they offered us an amazing breakfast (juice, coffee, eggs, marmelade, Nutella, fruits etc...) and were very nice to us. They proposed us to come picking us up at Ceparana's bus station and gave us a ride to go there in the morning and have been very nice to us !

NathanAugust 2016

The hosts were kind and nice and the room was cosy, clean and very comfortable and a big and very nice bathroom. Location is good. Also, if you want to go to the village by foot. Thanx a lot for the good breakfast :-)

ArzuSeptember 2016

We have been welcomed by Xu Jing's daughter and son, who were willing to help us and make the stay as comfortable as possible for us. Plus, they offer the breakfast. It's very clean, quiet. The place is well located if you want to stay in the region of La Spezia : 20minutes driving. Then you can go to Cinque Terre.

HugoSeptember 2016

The host (the children of Xu Jing I guess) are very kind. They gave us all information we need. The rooms are very big and clean. The beautifull big house is in a quiet place with a nice view.

The family was very nice, although we came late in the night, they have waited for us, took time to present their house, to talk to us about the possibility to visit the towns in the area; we had the whole house to our disposal, equiped with all that we needed; The house is beautiful and the view from the house is wonderfull.

NicoletaOctober 2016

My wife and I stayed here with some family (5 people). It was very comfortable with beautiful views of the city and countryside. Everything we needed was included. Raffaela and her son were very nice and informative about the activities and sites to see in the surrounding areas. Overall it was a very pleasant stay. 5 stars. One thing to note is that the house is perched on a hillside about 10 minutes from the town up a long and windy road. Wifi was provided by the host, although limited megabytes were available (which is normal I guess). The house was nicely decorated with great attention to detail.

CoryOctober 2016

Alfonso (speaks English very well) and Raffaela are very hospitable, welcoming and careful hosts. Alfonso met us and guided to the place, let us to park the car in his private parking in La Spezia and transferred us to the train station for 5-terre trip. Thanks a lot, Alfonso! Their housekeeper Centina (she is from Australia!) was ready to help too. The house is just as on photos, no... It's even better!!! It is very clean, modern, well furnished, comfortable for daily life. Some old things in the interior just make the house better. Terrace and views are fantastic! Dishwashing machine and barbecue were very useful but we a little bit missed washing machine... WiFi was very fast with confident coverage though we respected the hosts request not using it for big-size downloading. Location is nice for spending time in relax and aside of touristic crowds. It is in our opinion not about the sea vacation (beaches around in July are mostly too crowded), it's about other things to enjoy: views, fresh air, light breeze and temporary owning a perfect house of course!!! :). Villa is right next to old chapel which bells toll every 30 min probably from 8:00 till 22:00 (?). For me it was nice specific of the place, for my wife - interrupted her morning dream :) so I think it's very individual. To drive to Montedivalli and back you should be experienced driver cause last 4 km of the way to the villa are serpentines. And 1 more -be ready to protect yourself from mosquitos! ;) But the house definitely worth this "fight")))) ps. Dear Raffaela and Alfonso, thanks for hosting us! ...and for those nice welcome presents after our arriving! We spent the time with pleasure in your villa! Our favorites of 5-terre were Manarolla and Vernazza. Also nice places to recall... :)

We had a great week in Montedivalli! The house is located on top of a hill in a tiny village next to a church overviewing the mountains ... and you even see the bay of La Spezia in the distance. After a hot day on the beach or in the city it was nice to get back and always enjoying a refreshing breeze coming in over the patio door. The house spacious with two floors and three bedrooms, a fully equipped open kitchen with a dining table, a fire place and a comfortable sofa. There is a nice space to sit down and enjoy your breakfast outside and another large table on the patio for dinner. Our twins (8 years old) loved the huge balcony in front of their bedroom as their „private space“ only to be shared with the towels that we hung there to dry. The house has been used as a weekend refugium and is cosy and stylish at the same time – simply a place to relax and feel comfortable. It was fully renovated two years ago. The kitchen is the heart of the house. Also, the bathroom facilities were new, clean and everything worked well. Raffaela, Alfonso and Elia were very kind and attentive hosts, making us feel welcome like friends staying at their house . They picked us up and introduced us to the house and the environment and they never got tired to give us valuable tipps for our stay (e.g. best beaches and restaurants, place to purchase high quality olive oil (!!), private parking in the city ...) The contact was not only personal, but always fast and helpful. They even made their way up from La Spezia (30 min drive) to the house to say good bye! Thank you very much for this very authentic Italian holiday and contributing to a very memorable time at the Ligurian coast! Hope to see you again sometime soon!

TobiasJuly 2016

Just great! Raffaela and Alfonso were very helpful all the time, first they accompanied us from Ceparana to the house, afterwards they were very attentive with a little problem with the Wi-Fi. Also they offered us a free parking in La Spezia, which was really helpful. The house is amazing, really spacious and with everything you need for a nice stay. The house is surrounded by nature and is perfect for having little walks in the forests. Raffaela and Alfonso themselves are lovely people, giving all the time recommendations about trips and delicious restaurants.

Javier AlejandroAugust 2016

What an amazing place! We were absolutely breath-taken when we arrived at Raffaela and Alfonso's beautiful house. The views are incredible, there's loads of space, it's wonderfully decorated, and Raffaela and Alfonso were incredibly welcoming and charming. They went out of their way to make sure we found the house (they drove all the way out from La Spezia to show us the way) and had everything we needed. They even offered us their free parking space in La Spezia! (Parking in Italian cities - nightmare...!). They were full of tips for local travel, too. We were gutted to only have two days here, and we can't wait to come back for longer (and maybe next time bring all our friends and family there's so much space) and explore more! Thank you Raffaela and Alfonso! :)

Incredible flat in the charming village of Vezzano Ligure. Our host warmly welcomed us into her spacious and comfortable house, we will come back !

EmmaJuly 2016

It was a very nice homestay. Nice view and a lot of space. Thank you so much.

EvelynSeptember 2016

Luca and Federica's place was so gorgeous! I felt like I got the real italian experience staying in their home. The house itself is located on a very picturesque street overlooking the mountain and the view is breathtaking. The community are very friendly and we had no trouble finding the house thanks to (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps. Luca and Federica were very flexible with our arrival time. There is no wifi but you don't even need it because it's such a lovely peaceful retreat. I found the serenity of their village so refreshing after a day in the very touristic cinque terre. Would highly recommend visiting the pizzeria down the street too - it was fantastic pizza! Would definitely stay again!

Good apartment, confortable, clean. kitchen with everything we need. They gave to us everything to the breakfast. Good location with bus stop in front of the place. Eleonora's father is so lovely and helpful! We definitely recomend it!

Eleonora answered our booking request within less than hour even though we booked in the evening for the night. She had some food for breakfast ready and took care of details such as opened the parasol in the terrace for us in the morning before we woke up so we could have a lovely breakfast outside. She is friendly and we felt like at home in her apartment. Highly recommended.

SheilaAugust 2016

We chose this place because of the location and the fantastic reviews, and i have to say that our stay has been brilliant!! Eleonora was not at her place, so her father welcomed us, the nicest host you can imagine! He was already on the front of the house waiting for us when we arrived; he kindly showed us the apartment, which is super cosy, warm, clean and recently renewed. There was everything you can need, from towels, shower cream, hairdryer, to all kitchen stuff; there were also fruits, sweets, milk, tea, coffee, juice for breakfast. Eleonora's dad gave us also tips for our tour around Liguria, where to have dinner and places not to be missed. The house is just few km away from La Spezia, which is really handy for visiting Cinque Terre, Portofino, Geneva... Don't forget you can have a beautiful dinner in the nearest town, it was delicious. We hardly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Eleonora and specially thanks to her dad for making of our trip an unforgettable experience and making us feel at home.

The location of the accommodation is 30min by bus (SC)from La spezia train station (just opposite the train station) and comes every 15mins. The owner can't speak English so well, so it took us a few time to sort it out. But Cristian and his family are so so nice and hospitality. The room is really clean and having everything you need. There is a supermarket nearby so you can buy some food or snake. If you want to go to cinque Terre, you can take the bus to La Spezia first and then buy the train tickets to cinque Terre, but remember back to train station before 6, because there is no more bus back the place after that. We had walked to home on the highway in the night and is not fun at all.

This is a very nice place, very new and clean. It looks just like the photos. It has everything you need for a nice and relaxing holiday, while still being close to some nice places to visit. A downside was the very small road that we had to follow to get there, and the fact that the owners only speak Italian. We speak some Italian so for us it was no problem, but for others this might be hard.

EmmaAugust 2016

We came to La Spezia on our way to Cinque Terre. We had a great (EMAIL HIDDEN)munication and check in went smooth and she even let us leave the car in a private parking while we were in Corniglia! And the apartment is only a 5 minute walk from a train station which takes you to all the cities in Cinque Terre. Thank you so much!

Jens Eirik & OdaOctober 2016

Cosy and stylish apartment with tiny balcony. Everything was clean and according to photos. The apartment is well situated - close to the center, even so is quite. Ideal for trips to Cinque Terre. Even though we saw Lilly just a few minutes, I can say she was very nice and helpful. I recommend this.

MiroslavSeptember 2016

Did not actually meet Lilly. However, we were self sufficient and she promptly answered questions we had.

The location of this apartment is prime. 100m away from a superstore, and not much further to the train station (not the central station however, so keep in mind for planning!). Very quiet and safe neighborhood, with a lovely park across the street. Had a bit of trouble with the hot water the first day, but Lilly was very prompt to fix it. The apartment is very much lived in, and is a little cluttered, but clean and homey. Great base for exploring the Cinque Terre.

Fantastic airbnb very well decorated, very clean, very charming. We had everything we needed and were welcomed with a coffee and some fruits of the garden. Marina is very kind and gave us some great tips to travel around and in the cinqueterre. We had a very peaceful and beautiful time. Highly recommended!

TessSeptember 2016

We have stayed at many Airbnb accommodations but this has been the best experience for us. It is well worth the tricky drive. Marina, her husband and Margherita were very nice, warm, hospitable and very pleasant. We enjoyed our long conversation with them over an Italian coffee, the evening we arrived. They were very helpful and gave us a lot of information about visiting the Cinque Terre. The studio had everything we needed. Many options for breakfast like bread, yogurt, fruit, coffee, tea, etc. There was also pasta, tomato sauce, olive oil, etc. which we came back and cooked after a long day out in the Cinque Terre. Everything if you want an Italian home cooked meal. They have a huge garden with fruit and herbs. They also make their own wine, which we had the privilege of tasting and it is the best red wine I have ever had. As we were in Italy to celebrate my birthday, they were very kind to gift me a bottle of their home made wine as a birthday present. As far as the room is concerned, it gets quite damp and humid, but there is a dehumidifier provided, which needs to be switched on pretty much all the time. With the dehumidifier, the dampness is not so much. Otherwise, the studio is self contained and has everything provided that one can need during their stay, whether long or short. There is fast free wifi and free parking too. It is easier to get to, if you have a car. And an honourable mention must be made about the brilliant shower! :) The pressure is better than any of the 5 star hotels we have stayed at. We are happy to have met Marina and her family and want to come back and stay with them again. If we didn't have to go to Florence and Pisa, we would have liked to stay here for the rest of our visit. They are very kind people. The nicest and kindest Airbnb hosts ever. If we could, we would give them a 'Superhost' stamp. Because it is not just how many times a property is booked, but also the hospitality and kindness you witness, that makes a host a super host. :)

We have done many airbnbs around Europe and Marina's home is by far our favourite place. We had our own kitchen bathroom and bedroom. We sat outside and ate dinner looking over the incredible views of vineyards and hills. There was wonderful wifi also.Their hospitality was amazing and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! A lovely addition was the beautiful fruit outside and fresh basil we could use in our cooking. We wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you Marina

MichaelaAugust 2016

Marina's appartment is located at a beautiful little village, beware you have to climb a hill and at night no buses will get you there, but that is only a small price to pay for such a lovely stay in a beautiful environment. In addition Marina did everything to help us make us feel comfortable during our stay and she even dropped us off at the train station on our departure, service you can't expect, very sweet and truly amazing. Thank you marina for all your help, we will definitely recommend your place to our friends and we would love to come back one day as there is still so much to see around Arcola.

Andrea was a perfect host. He looked after us the minute we arrived. He provided with details of how to travel to Cinque Terre. Another personal touch was he offered to pick us up at the train station on arrival and dropped us off on departure day. Communication with him was flawless. He was very prompt in texting back.Another surprise was the goodies he laid out for us every day for breakfast. As a parting gift, he presented us with a 100ml. bottle of pure virgin olive oil pressed from his own olive garden. The room we had was very clean and the private bathroom was very big .The kitchen was at our disposal anytime we want to use it. If you like to stay in a quiet mountain resort with breathtaking views, this is it ! Keep up the good work Andrea.

Alexandra, Adalmo and Andrea were perfect hosts. I really enjoyed my stay here. It was just perfect for me. They made me feel at home and introduced me to their friends and we even had lunch together. It was a truly special stay!!

To find the place is quite difficult, and we thought we were ready! We ended up on the other mountain! The GPS faulted us. So just for info, here are the coordinates : Tivegna Cartello Pié Di Foce Italy Latitude : (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) | Longitude : (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) When you arrive at the bottom of Pié Di Foce, you just have to go up and up again. Lello welcomed us, he is Eliana's partner. He was extremely friendly. The room is perfect for this type of stay. You are on top of the house, with your private room (equipped with a small bathroom, a fridge and a coffee and tea cart). The bed is very large and comfy. There is also a private terrasse, so you can enjoy a beautiful view in the morning. What a view! You will not want to go down :) It was a great stay and we were very happy to meet our host.

NathalieAugust 2016

I'm very glad to write this rewiev. Me and my wife spent 3 days in this apartment and we had a really good trip. I was so amazed when I woke up and I saw a beautiful view of La Spezia. Owners are really warm and kind, so I hope I'll be back and I would highly recommend to others. Thank you!

DmitryMay 2015

What a wonderful place that is Eliana's home. We were literally stunned by the amazing view this place offered us ! A real paradise ! We did not have the chance to meet Eliana but she was very present through the phone to help us find her adress. We were welcomed by her very nice partner Lionello. He offered us some drink and he took some time to chat with us. We spent a wonderful night, talking about music and many other things.. Everything was perfect, and we were a bit sad to leave this "paradise".. We just hope to return very soon ! Thank you ! Lorenzo e Charlotte

The location truly is amazing. The access is a bit difficult but the effort to get there is rewarded by a breathtaking view. The place was clean and the hosts were very hospitable.

CatalinOctober 2016

This Place is very nice and cosy! A little hard to find there up the mountain but the view from the top of the house is amazing. The host is very kind and open, we really enjoyed our stay!!

BenediktAugust 2015

I have to say this is one of the best stay for me and my wife. The drive way up to find her place was not easy but Lello came out with his car to lead us to the house it was just fun anyway that i felt like i am in Giro'd Italia! The room is enough for two and has amazing view. If you're more into mountain than ocean this is just it. Private bathroom is so clean and THE private terrace, which there's no picture of in B&B is truly the surprise. You will see many stars up in the sky and many fireflies around the house in the night. It is so peaceful and quiet place. The host, Eliana and Lello are lovely persons that you will love to talk with. They gave me and my wife the time that we will never forget. I hope we did the same to them. The only bad part was that WE HAD TO LEAVE. I'd love to thank them again for all and will miss the time we had. Take good care, Eliana & Lello!!

YounjaeJune 2015

We had a lovely stay with Lello and Eliana. There place is beautiful, the view is stunning. The room was clean and as advertised. Finding the place is not easy so Lello met us don the hill and we followed him back. Lello and Eliana were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We were fortunate enough to be there for the Slovak festival. Would highly recommend staying here in this wonderful peaceful location.
